So, I will be at PAX Prime and PAX Dev this year. Blue Manchu will be at PAX this year. You, the reader, may not be at PAX this year. While I cannot resolve this by flying all you unlucky forum goers to Seattle, I can do the next best thing* and offer up my services as a "guy who is at PAX who can do stuff"! If you guys have any burning questions for the Blue Manchu Crew™, or would like me to take pictures of particular things, or try certain stuff in the Card Hunter demo (if it's publicly playable), I'd be more than happy to do these things in your stead** and report back. Since the only thing I actually had planned was to wander over to the Indie Megabooth at some point and awkwardly introduce myself as "that Roshirai guy from the forums", your guidance could very well be invaluable! I'll definitely write a nice summary for the forums some time after I get home, and if there's interest, I'll maybe even, uh, Tweet some stuff live or something. Is that a thing people do? LiveTweet? Probably. * Service offered up may not actually be the next best thing, but rather the "thing some number of places down from the best thing". Offer not valid in Quebec. ** Within reason, of course. I'm technically not supposed to go within ten feet of Farbs anymore.
Hey man, definitely come over and introduce yourself! We will give you a special welcome, Blue Manchu style. And, yes, the demo is most definitely playable at PAX. That's the whole point of us being there!
You have a welcome "style"? Roshirai, brave soldier, your sacrifice will not be forgotten. . . . But if you survive with your skin and your dignity intact after the welcome, I do have a request. Find persons who were involved in Thief, System Shock, or BioShock, and give them a big (legal) hug. Speaking of which, I'm finally playing through BioShock for the first time right now. I'm picking up on so many references to Thief and System Shock. I love it (for more reasons than just this, of course).
The booth is 10'x10', but if I stand in the right spot you can still reach one of the demo machines. Just shout when you're nearby and we'll sort it out.
